August 2, 2025

Five Greek Cypriots will remain in custody for 13 days following their arrest in the occupied territories. A military court rejected a request for a three-month detention, stating the evidence was insufficient. Among the accused, one is charged with illegal entry into a military zone while the other four are said to have assisted him. The court emphasized that individuals cannot be detained based solely on assumptions of flight risk.
